I really wish they would have made this movie through an independent studio.
First the casting is all wrong. It's not the whole white wash thing, it's the Scarlett Johansson as a scifi actor thing. It's like watching the female version of keano Reeves. She simply can't act. Putting Pilou Asbæk next to her was twice the punishment! The whole Hollywood type casting thing drags down movies.
Second was the storyline and the writing. It was seriously lacking. A. you knew what was coming before it ever came. B. trying to hide the lack of good dialog behind action scenes only goes so far. This whole movie lacked any substantial dialog at all. They were throwing scenes in the movie that were frankly pointless because they couldn't write anything meaningful. Even the last battle scene was just lame. They wrote so poorly they even left cliff hangers in segments where there should have been action.
I wouldn't spend a dime to go see this movie and I'm glad I watched it online because of that.
110 million and this is the garbage they threw out. it wasn't even 1/2 as good as Lucy, not that Lucy was some epicly great movie. I can only hope the blade runner remake isn't this epicly bad.
